The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 5076

At that moment, a woman who appeared to be around Elaine's age and had an intellectual air approached Claire with an apologetic expression on her face. "You must be Claire, right?"

Charlie recognized this woman as the director of the Joules family hospital, who was responsible for Elaine's care. It seemed that she had come to smooth over any lies that Elaine may have told Claire.

Claire, seeing the woman for the first time, nodded somewhat blankly and asked in surprise, "Yes, that's me... And you?"

The woman introduced herself, saying, "I'm a friend of your mother's from New York. She's been staying with me. I'm so sorry for not taking better care of her. It was my fault that she fell and hurt her leg. Please don't blame me..."

Claire quickly replied, "Auntie, you mustn't say that. My mother's leg is an old problem and has been broken several times before. It's certainly not your fault. I'm sure my mother has been a burden on you while she's been staying with you. As her daughter, I should thank you for taking care of her."
